What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Dryject's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, franchisees will incur a fee for payments made via credit card. Specifically, Dryject franchisees must reimburse Dryject for the cost Dryject incurs related to the franchisee's credit card payments. The exact amount of this fee will depend on the credit card processing fees at the time of the payment.
This means that if a Dryject franchisee chooses to pay any fees, such as the Royalty Service Fee or National Marketing Fund contributions, via credit card instead of Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), they will be responsible for covering the processing fees associated with the credit card transaction. This is in addition to the actual amount of the fee being paid.
Franchisees should consider this additional cost when deciding how to make payments to Dryject. Using EFT, which Dryject requires authorization for, would avoid these additional processing fees. It is common practice for franchisors to pass along credit card processing fees to franchisees, as these fees can add up and impact the franchisor's revenue.
